postfix installation

[Anonymous]

following the instructions, I get these error lines:

cc -I/usr/local/include -g -O -I. -I../../include -DRHAPSODY5 -o master master.o master_conf.o master_ent.o master_sig.o master_avail.o master_spawn.o master_service.o master_status.o master_listen.o master_vars.o master_wakeup.o master_flow.o ../../lib/libglobal.a ../../lib/libutil.a -L/usr/local/lib -ldb -flat_namespace
ld: can’t locate file for: -ldb
make: *** [master] Error 1
make: *** [update] Error 1

Here I’m stuck, knowing too little about Unix. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
Hakan

Have you modified your Server from the default installation? Do you have the latest Developer Tools installed?

The -ldb portion of the error leads me to suspect a problem with Berkeley DB, but it’s difficult to say for certain without more information from you.

Yes, you are right. I first tried to install postfix according to the guideline published at http://www.stepwise.com where it states that installation of the BerkeleyDB is required prior to installation of Postfix.
So I installed BerkeleyDB, then found the afp548 article and removed (or tried to do) it again. It seems not be completely removed, right? How can I get my System back to default again? Or can I somehow go ahead with it as it is?
Thank you for your valued support.

Unfortunately, I’m not certain what version of Berkeley DB Apple ships. I imagine it is 3.2. Regardless–if you don’t have other applications that rely on Berkeley DB (like, for example, pop-before-smtp), you should be okay to go ahead and install Berkeley DB again. Make sure to have it symlinked into a place where the system can find it and you should be okay.
